Travel Medical Expense Coverage for People with Medicare
Many people are unaware that the Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid Programs may not provide coverage for hospital or medical expenses incurred outside the United States.
There are a few exceptions. For example: Medicare may pay if you're in the U.S. when a medical emergency occurs, and the foreign hospital is closer than the nearest U.S. hospital that can treat your medical condition. (Please visit medicare.gov for full details.)
For travelers who are injured or who become seriously ill overseas, obtaining medical treatment and hospital care can be very costly and difficult.
